Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Someone made a comment this past Sunday that they wondered what October 10, 1010 was like. It gave me an opportunity to actually learn about the calendar and it's history (I don't think I paid enough attention in school!) While it is a good idea in theory, the calendar as we know it wasn't established till Pope Gregory XIII finally reformed to the Julian calendar in 1582. So while 10-10-1010 was a real day in the history of the world it wasn't observed, remembered or noted as a special day - David had just been crowned king of Israel and days weren't kept as we know them now.
